"This strange Maze has been known to have people gone "missing" in it ... even an investigator has gone missing ... will you take up the case" ― Description of The Maze
The Maze is a maze where b8az lives. He used to live there with his wife, before she passed away. He is now trying to do a “Void ritual” to be with her again. B8az thinks she is in a place called, “The Void” where people go when they die, and it seems like he might go there to be with her. From what it looks like, b8az murders people that come into the maze.
Overview -[]
The Maze is a game created by b8az, and his most popular. The Maze takes place in a maze with multiple things inside. It has multiple fake walls and morse code to decipher throughout the game. Codes are also often used to open things, such as doors. It includes things speaking about b8az trying to be with his wife again by doing a ritual. It also mentions z3f and Panda, two of b8az's friends, killing themselves because of b8az’s “Master." His master seems to be from the void, and is possibly involved with the ritual that b8az is doing.
Walkthrough -[]
Once the player spawns, they will have have two tools in their inventory, a lamp and a coffee mug. They will then be presented with two pathways; straight ahead and turning right. If they go straight, they are met with what seems like a dead end, but if they look to the right wall, the player will see a discolored part of the wall which is a fake wall. Walk through, and there is a room. Three figures are shown with no eyes, two in the wall and one in the corner next to a note that reads, “You have been invited to drink some coffee at Bait’s house. Just say The Maze Parts in front of the door to open it. From, Baits”
If they player heads back towards the start and go through the right pathway, they are met with another pathway going straight ahead. Continuing on that path, they will be met with another section where they will see a house. The door will be opened when the player says the code; “The Maze Parts." When the player enters the house, they are met with two figures, one sitting at the table and one in the corner, next to a coffee mug. Straight in front of the doorway, there is another room but there is a code needed. If the player goes behind the counter, they are presented with a third figure; a green woman. One of the chiffonier compartments are open. There is a note reading, “Remember the password to the basement door is, My Pet Hungers”. This leads the player back to the door straight ahead from the front door. When they say the code, they are brought to a staircase leading downwards. Going down, there are two figures, a man on the floor and a person sitting next to the wall. Looking around the room, there is a cage and a shelf. Be careful when approaching the cage, because when touched, it produces loud sounds and kills the player. The shelf is clickable, and when clicked, it opens, revealing another door of some sort, which needs a code.
Now, as the player goes back up from the basement, there is another door next to the kitchen counter, it needs a key. The key is the “Shadow Crystal”, and it is located near the statue which can be found by going past the house, and taking a left. Continue on that path, going past the grave, they will eventually find the statue. On it reads, “The Great Void” and it is a statue of someone b8az is not supposed to say. There are 3 “Shadow Crystals” and they are located in the left, top right, and bottom right of the area. Proceed back to the house, and back to the door. The player can now use the “Shadow Crystal” on the door to get in.
Once the player enters the room, they can see a ritual in progress. On the outside of the markings, there are seven letters and a note. Starting from the candle closest to the door, B is written and is colored red. Now, going to the left, it says, “E, S, D, A, R” and A which is lit up. There is also a note that has S on it, in between S and D. Now, in the center of the markings, starting from the top and continuing to the right the letters are, “F, A, L, L, S." In two corners of the room there are notes that say “B=N” and “A=K." Once the player solves the puzzle, they will get the code “Darkness Falls." On the left side of the room, there is a shelf with a note on it that reads, “Ritual Items: 1 deathbell 3 holy flowers 1 soul shard 1 blood of the ritualist and 2 cups of holy water." There is also a drawer in the bed, which reveals a note that says, “Code:Fallen Love."
Back to the door behind the shelf, the code is “Fallen Love." There is a left hallway and a right hallway. The left hallway takes you to what seems like a library. On the left of the room the ingredients are placed on a table with a note that says, “Deathbell, 2 cups of holy water, soul shard." On the right side of the room, there is a table with two notes, a purple journal, and a knife. One note is titled, “The Library” and proceeds to say, “The Corruption is getting worse, it’s taken over half my face and I need a rebreather to breath now, it’ll all be worth it soon.” The second note is titled, “The Gate” and says “I’m just missing one ingredient for this next ritual, I just need to get this damn gate open...” The right turn leads to a bookshelf and shovel, which then leads to a hallway that takes you to a church. There is a door on the left and right side of the church, and down the aisle there is a journal titled, “The Church” and it says “it feels like just yesterday I had only started ... and now soon my master and my dearly departed will return to this world!” The code for the door on the right is “They weren’t ready." It is unknown how the code was found, but it possibly came from The Valley. In the room, there is a note that is titled, “The Valley” and says “it is so sad that z3f and Panda weren’t ready. The whispers of my master seem to have driven them into insanity and to kill themselves."
The player can also go back to the statue, and say the code “Darkness Falls” and a secret compartment opens up, and reveals morse code. The morse code translates to “The Summit is the key." This is used at b8az's other game, The Summit.
The player should now go to Marisa’s grave, and look on the back of the headstone. There should be morse code written there, and it translates to “The Fallen." While at the grave, they should grab the “Soul Shard” on the right side of it. Now, there should be a fake wall near the statue in the maze that the player won’t be able to walk through, unless they say a code. Use the code “The Fallen” from the headstone to open it. They will then see morse code on the wall, which translates to “Find The Divide." There is also what seems like an altar with a ball on top in the maze. The ball might have something to do with the ritual, or the void.
